The best place to start is at the beginning.

Imho, the most difficult aspect of learning/teaching a subject has to do with mastering the basics. For it is during this phase that interaction between a student and the instructor is usually at its most intense. I suspect you're having difficulty grasping some of the fundamental concepts of programming, and rightly so. You can (relatively) easily teach yourself a new language, but understanding the basics requires a good instructor, a lot of hand waving, and eye contact.

That being said, I suggest you enroll yourself at a local university or community college and get a few computer science courses under your belt. Armed with the knowledge that you may have picked up reading and browsing this forum, you'll probably enjoy taking the courses more than some of your other classmates.

Here's a suggested curriculum. The actual course names may vary, but try to get this material under your belt.
  • Introduction to programming (logic, flowcharting, boolean algebra, C)
  • Data structures
  • Object oriented programming (C++, Java)
  • Design patterns
Of course, simply understanding this material is not sufficient. You'll need to write hundreds of programs in which you apply your knowledge. That, imho, is the real process of learning.

Good luck and feel free to ask lots of questions!
